At Fishing Tackle 2U we have a huge selection of trout fly rods for the anglers perusal. If ever you are undecided about which rod to pick, be it a Greys Fly Rod an Orvis Fly Rod or even if you fancy a Wychwood Fly Rod, don’t hesitate to call one of our stores, Belfast Angling Centre 02890313156 or Mckees Angling Centre 02891454983, and we will arrange to see you see you and go through the various options that are open. Trout fly rods are available in all lengths and casting weights. Indeed, we stock rods of 6’ with a casting weight of a size 3 fly line right up to a single handed fly rod casting a size 10 fly line. The physical makeup of fly rods also varies so that if you are fishing larger loughs on a boat and are drifting, you might want an 11’ Greys Fly Rod with a slightly lighter line rating of a size 6. But if you want to fish a small brook with a dry fly, a 7’ Orvis Fly with a size 4 line and a size 22 midge pattern would be more suitable. Wychwood Fly Rod company are now producing some incredible fast reservoir type rods, designed to cast an ips6 rated fly line extreme distances to get deep down among the feeding trout. Most of the mid range trout fly rods come with a case and nowadays the 2 piece seems to have gone out of fashion with predominantly 3 to 4 piece rods forming the vast percentage of sales. Having more joints in rods was traditionally the death knell for quality performance, but not now, rods have been designed and enhanced to such a degree that anglers cannot tell the difference between 2 or 4 piece rods.
